Hello,

I decided i will invest in Albany NY in 2019. I zeroed in on three zip codes 12202, 12206 and 12208. Where can i go (online) to find out more about these areas. I would love to chat with anyone who is from the area about things that only someone with boots on the ground would know like rents for 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom units. Also what areas should i stay away from? What towns are all the universities in? Why are all of the buildings so old? Last but not least, i don't know what i don't know so please fill me in on that too.

@Meshael Eady if you've narrowed down your locations that much already, it sounds like you've done some research ahead of time! What's drawing you specifically to these zips? You've picked South End, West Hill, and Albany Med neighborhoods. 12208 will tend to be much higher prices, rents, and better condition (very generally speaking) - it is a large zip, so depends where you're looking within. All real estate is hyper local.
